Landscape

The Landscape Special Interest Group is dedicated to encouraging landscape photography and advancing the skills of its practitioners. Since its launch in 2016, the group has welcomed photographers of all levels, from beginners to experts, and offers a range of events, publications, and online platforms for members to share their work and collaborate with others.

Landscape photography has a long history and has become one of the most popular forms of photography, with techniques such as intentional camera movement, multiple exposures, and the use of filters allowing photographers to capture the ephemeral beauty of landscapes.

The Landscape Special Interest Group aims to spread understanding of these techniques through practical use and collaboration.

The group also produces a regular e-newsletter and a print magazine every 8 months, as well as offering opportunities for members to share their images through print and e-critique circles and a members-only Facebook Group.

Themed competition

Water

Water, in all its forms, offers photographers an endless canvas of creative possibilities. From the raw, untamed power of crashing waves and rushing rapids to the mirror-like serenity of still mountain lakes at dawn, water embodies both drama and peace within a single frame. This month's theme invites you to explore the many moods and movements of our planet's most essential element. Capture the ethereal beauty of long-exposure waterfalls transforming into silky veils, the explosive energy of storm-driven seas, or the gentle ripples that disturb a quiet pond's reflection. Whether you're drawn to water's capacity for destruction or its ability to create moments of profound calm, let your lens tell the story of this ever-changing, life-giving force that shapes our world in countless ways.

The competition is open and runs until 21 December 2025.
